<div>Kwan..Thanks for the options.</div>
<div>I have no X Windows Installed.</div>
<div>But I can easily run :</div>
<div> </div>
<div>authconfig-tui</div>
<div> </div>
<div>which doesnt show any home directory creation option.</div>
<div>But yes, I can see options like:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>[root@localhost ~]# authconfig --enablemkhomedir<br>usage: authconfig [options] <--update|--test|--probe></div>
<div>options:<br> -h, --help show this help message and exit<br> --enableshadow, --useshadow<br> enable shadowed passwords by default<br> ...<br> winbindusedefaultdomain is not enabled<br>
their primary group<br><br><br> <br> <strong>--enablemkhomedir create home directories for users on their first login</strong><br> --disablemkhomedir do not create home directories for users on their<br>
first login<br> --nostart do not start/stop portmap, ypbind, and nscd<br> --<br> --probe probe network for defaults and print them<br>[root@localhost ~]#</div>
<div> </div>
<div>May I know what command I need to type to work out:</div>
<div><br> <strong>--enablemkhomedir create home directories for users on their first login</strong><br></div>
<div>Pls Suggest?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you elaborate or provide any tutorial for Option 2?<br><br></div>

<br>1) Run system-config-authentication. Go to the options tab, check the<br>box to create home directories.<br><br>2) Set up automount to mount a remote filesystem for the home directory.<br><br>Both have advantages and disadvantages. I use mostly option 2, with a<br>
